Would the weight not "dull" down the back of the car more, as it would increase it's inertia, making it more drivable on low grip tracks?

Obviously, the inertia works in both ways, so once it does break traction it is more severe (like a 911), but this is the trade off I was looking for advice on I guess too.

I get that a lighter car should always be quicker, but I would have thought consistency over multiple laps would be more preferred than single lap speed? So if the weight provides this there would be a competitive advantage to it? But as you say, that is up to debate!
